Departures from Cardiff International Airport

Cardiff Airport departures: how to read the board

The departures board above lists the flights leaving Cardiff today, with the scheduled departure time, the estimated or actual time, the destination and the status. It updates continuously; an estimated time later than the schedule means a delay, and departed means the aircraft has left the gate.

Cardiff has one terminal with a single security search and the gates a short walk beyond, so it is a quick airport to get through. The busiest moments are the early-morning departures of TUI Airways and Ryanair holiday flights in summer and the start of the school holidays, when the small security hall fills up. Arrive well ahead of the time on the board.

Dropping off and getting there

For a quick drop-off, use the drop-off and pick-up area in Car Park 2, free for the first 20 minutes and accessed via Port Road; the Drop off Zone outside the terminal is charged per ten minutes. By rail, book an integrated ticket to Cardiff Airport via Rhoose and take the 905 shuttle bus from Rhoose station to the terminal; the 304 bus runs from Customhouse Street in Cardiff city center via Barry and Llantwit Major.

The board is dominated by TUI Airways and Ryanair flights to Málaga, Alicante, Faro, the Canaries and the Mediterranean, KLM to Amsterdam, Aer Lingus to Dublin and Belfast City, Vueling to Spain and Loganair to Edinburgh.
